Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? We're here to help.

Admission requirements vary depending on the program. For details, consult the specific requirements for the program you are interested in.

How does the admission process work?

Admission materials are submitted to and compiled by the Office of Graduate and International Admission and Enrollment. Accordingly, your application will remain in this office until all of your supporting documents have been received. Once completed, your application will be sent to your academic department for review. The program director or admission committee in your department will review your completed application and make an admission decision.

I've missed the application deadline. May I still apply?

Applications received and/or completed after the deadline will be sent to the appropriate department for review if space in the program is available. Because of enrollment constraints, some departments are unable to review applications after the deadline. If you wish to determine whether your department is still reviewing applications, please contact us.

I have submitted some application documents but have not yet submitted my application. What will happen to my documents?

We will retain the documents in our files and add them to your application once you apply.

Do I really need to submit transcripts from every university I've attended?

Yes. Transcripts are required from all colleges and universities attended, whether or not credit was earned, the program was completed or the credit appears as transfer credit on another transcript.

I completed my undergraduate degree a long time ago and I'm unable to acquire recommendations from my former professors. What should I do?

We understand that not all applicants may be able to provide recommendations from professors. In that case, you should request recommendations from individuals able to address your qualifications for graduate study. If you have worked in a relevant field, recommendations from your supervisors are acceptable.

If a Statement of Purpose is required for the program I am applying to, how long should it be?

Yes. Before the start of your first semester at UB, you'll be required to attend orientation, a day-long program that will help familiarize you with UB. You'll get connected to campus resources, meet fellow students and more. You can find more details here.
